An Elegant Late Victorian Family Home in the Heart of Duddingston
Situated on a tranquil, tree-lined street in one of Edinburgh’s most desirable neighbourhoods, this bright and beautifully presented late Victorian semi-detached home perfectly combines timeless period character with modern family living.
Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, the property retains a wealth of original features including ornate cornicing, decorative fireplaces, and an elegant bay window while offering stylish contemporary comfort through its modern kitchen, bathrooms, and tasteful neutral décor.
The property is entered through a welcoming vestibule with original tiled flooring leading into a spacious hallway, complete with bespoke fitted storage under the stairs. The elegant sitting room enjoys a large bay window framing picturesque views of Arthur’s Seat, alongside intricate ceiling cornicing, a decorative ceiling rose, and an original fireplace with gas fire and classic Edinburgh press.
The true heart of the home is the open-plan dining kitchen and family room - a bright, sociable space with two sets of French doors opening onto the rear garden. The kitchen features a generous range of fitted units, a central island, and integrated appliances including a five-burner gas hob, oven, extractor, dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge/freezer. The adjoining family area, complete with original fireplace, offers flexible space for dining or relaxation, while a separate dining zone can be adapted as a playroom, home office, or snug. A convenient WC and additional under-stair storage complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the landing is bathed in natural light from a cupola and provides access to attic storage. The principal bedroom suite boasts excellent proportions, a dressing room with fitted vanity and storage, and a stylish ensuite shower room. Two further generous bedrooms, one with stunning views of Arthur’s Seat and each feature original fireplaces and decorative cornicing. A sleek, modern family bathroom with shower-over-bath completes the upper level.
Outside, to the front, a private garden and driveway offer attractive kerb appeal. The rear garden is fully enclosed and beautifully landscaped, laid mainly to lawn with two sun-soaked patio areas ideal for outdoor entertaining. Additional features include a fitted utility shed and a bike store.
Further benefits include double glazing and gas central heating.
